Learned my lesson.

I hear ya! I used to drive my Civic up with two wheels on the curb and lay in the gutter to get under it to change the oil. Only problem with jacking some vehicles up is that it tilts the oil pan enough so that not all of the oil drains out. That was the case with the Civic, it would leave about 3/4 of a quart in the pan if I jacked it up enough to get under it. By driving it up on the curb with the passenger side tires on the curb, it stayed level and all the oil would come out.
